communal property
Belongs to everyone
Communal property is property owned collectively by a group rather than by individuals.
The term applies to assets shared by a community, commune, or cooperative: The land was held as communal property by the village.
In some legal contexts, it refers specifically to property owned jointly by married couples, though "community property" is more common for this sense.
